IS THERE A TIGER ON YOUR TANK ?

Here it is, another half-million gallon water tank. From time to time I will show other water tanks that I like. I do this in hopes to inspire people in other places to fancy up the tanks in their neighborhoods; otherwise the tanks are just an eyesore, a blight on the community

This tank is decorated with a tiger, the mascot of Los Lunas High School, which is across the street. The view from the other side of the tank is nicer ---you can't see all the weeds and clutter, and the cell phone relay towers and communication antennas are not so evident. The problem is that to take a photo from the other side I would have to stand out in the middle of US Interstate Highway 25, amidst cars and trucks zooming along at 75 + miles per hour. I have no desire to be squashed like a bug on I-25. If you want to see the other side of the tank, I suggest you drive there yourself.

And so it was here, on highway billboards and in TV commercials ad nauseum. I wasn't sure if anyone would recognize the turn of the phrase; I tend to do that sort of thing and to make poor puns in my writing.
